What do people do with Culham St Gabriel’s grants?

July 2023

We bring our theme of ‘celebrating the Religion and Worldviews’ community to a close with a truly heartening, exciting and inspiring insight into the questions teachers are asking. Culham St Gabriel’s are proud to present those individuals and groups who have received CSTG grants in the last year or two years. Below you will find videos where grantees explain their projects, what they were hoping to achieve, and the fascinating insights they have gained through the process. As you will see, grantees had many different types of questions, such as how to create a Religion and Worldviews curriculum from age 4 upwards, how to explore religious diversity with young people across Europe and how to engage teachers and pupils in learning about the climate crisis through Religion and worldviews.

Timings for the individual films are:

00:00 Barnet SACRE Bringing the High-level Academic Religion and Worldviews Approach of Anne Waves into the RE Classroom
01:32 The University of Strathclyde After Religious Education: Pedagogical Principles for an Education in ‘Religion and Worldviews’
03:03 Open University Young People and Religion: Creative Learning with History and Filmmaking
04:46 University of Leeds Engaging Local Communities with Teaching Religion and Worldviews
06:02 Diocese of Bristol and South Gloucestershire Local Authority ‘RE:Hive’ Project: Peer to Peer School Improvement
07:30 St Peter Saltley Trust and the University of Birmingham RE:Connect RE Teacher Fellowship Programme
09:33 Wikimedia UK Tackling Cultural Bias on Wikipedia
13:22 Rose Castle Foundation Religions and Worldviews Through Scripture

As you can see from the films, grant-funded projects use different sources of information to further their understanding, such as interviews with teachers, pupils and faith members, reading around relevant literature and in the field research. The results of these projects will benefit different aspects of the Religion and Worldviews community, from pupils to classroom teachers, to those pursuing a more scholarly understanding of teaching and learning in the world today.

Why not think about applying for grant funding? If you have a question that has always bothered you, or an idea that you think could make a positive change, think about putting it to the test.

Culham St Gabriel’s welcome applications from all people. Our main strategic objective is the promotion of Religion and Worldviews as a curriculum subject. If you have an idea which increases understanding of Religion and Worldviews, engages decision-makers, supports teachers’ development or champions inspiring teaching, this could be for you.
